  • Autism Practice Parameters
    American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry AACAP is pleased to offer Practice Parameters as soon as they are approved by the AACAP Council, but prior to their publication in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP). This article may be revised during the JAACAP copyediting, author query, and proof reading processes. Any final changes in the document will be made at the time of print publication and will be reflected in the final electronic version of the Practice Parameter. AACAP and JAACAP, and its respective employees, are not responsible or liable for the use of any such inaccurate or misleading data, opinion, or information contained in this iteration of this Practice Parameter. PRACTICE PARAMETER FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by patterns of delay and deviance in the development of social, communicative, and cognitive skills which arise in the first years of life. Although frequently associated with intellectual disability, this condition is distinctive in terms of its course, impact, and treatment. ASD has a wide range of syndrome expression and its management presents particular challenges for clinicians. Individuals with an ASD can present for clinical care at any point in development. The multiple developmental and behavioral problems associated with this condition necessitate multidisciplinary care, coordination of services, and advocacy for individuals and their families. Early, sustained intervention and the use of multiple treatment modalities are indicated. Key Words: autism, practice parameters, guidelines, developmental disorders, pervasive developmental disorders.

  • Parents Guide to ADHD
    Parents Guide to ADHD Copyright 2016. Child Mind Institute Parents Guide to ADHD Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) find it unusually difficult to concentrate on tasks, to pay attention, to sit still and to control impulsive behavior. This guide offers parents the information you need to understand the behaviors associated with the disorder and make effective decisions for your child about diagnosis and treatment. What Is ADHD? Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a condition that makes it unusually difficult for children to concentrate, to pay attention, to sit still, to follow directions and to control impulsive behavior. While all young children are at times distractible, restless and oblivious to parents’ and teachers’ instructions, kids with ADHD behave this way much more often than other children their age. And their inability to settle down, focus and follow through on tasks in age-appropriate ways makes it very hard for them to do what’s expected of them at school. It can also lead to conflict at home and difficulty getting along with peers. Symptoms of ADHD Symptoms of ADHD are divided into two groups: inattentive behaviors and hyperactive and impulsive behaviors. Inattentive symptoms of ADHD: — Makes careless mistakes — Is easily distracted — Doesn’t seem to be listening when spoken to directly — Has difficulty following instructions — Has trouble organizing — Avoids or dislikes sustained effort — Is forgetful, always losing things Child Mind Institute | Page 2 Parents Guide to ADHD Hyperactive or impulsive symptoms of ADHD: — Fidgeting or squirming, trouble staying in one place or waiting his turn Kids who have inattentive — Excessive running and climbing symptoms may start to — Trouble playing quietly struggle in the middle of — Extreme impatience elementary school, when — Always seems to be “on the go” or “driven by a motor” it becomes increasingly — Excessive talking or interrupting, blurting out answers difficult for them to Some children exhibit only the first group of symptoms, and some exhibit keep up.
